The EIS will open a ballot on January 6 as it looks to pressure the council into reversing cuts to teaching numbers passed earlier this year.
The cuts could eventually see 450 jobs lost, with the figure already down by 120 this year. The announcement comes just weeks after the Scottish Government’s budget for the next financial year increased funding for local authorities by around £1 billion.
“Nationally, we have already seen another local authority, Falkirk, take its own plans for deep cuts to education off the table following the budget agreement between the Scottish Government and Cosla. The city of Glasgow must now follow suit, cancel its programme of teaching cuts, and confirm that it will meet its obligations under the budget agreement.
“The time is now right for Glasgow City Council to show a bit of festive cheer, and make an early new year’s resolution to meet the terms of the budget agreement by cancelling its programme of education cuts.”
